Riding Gear – Day of the Dead Rain Suit

You go to the trouble of picking out your riding gear, yet when the rain comes, you’re stuck covering it all up with a ho-hum rain suit. This Day of the Dead Rain Suit from our friends at Fuel Motorcycles is anything but boring. The design was inspired by AMA Hall of…

Riding Gear – HolyFreedom PrimaLoft Neck Tubes

When it comes to wind chill, every rider has two points of weakness. That spot on your back between pants and your jacket, and your neck. For the latter issue, there was a time when scarfs were the go-to solution. But we see a flailing length of cloth trailing behind you as…

Gear Review – Arkiv Modular Backpack

As a motorcyclist, finding the right backpack can be challenging. For years I’ve struggled to find a solution that fulfills all of my day to day needs so my only option has been to own several of them. I have a small bag for carrying my work gear (laptop, books, etc) and…

Gear Review – Jack Stillman Commodore Messenger Bag

I think of bags kind of like jeans – once you’re on to a good brand and fit you’re set, at least until you inevitably wear them to death. But, trying to find a new one in this consumer world can turn what should be a pleasant experience into one riddled with…

GearReview – Suus 3066 Armoured Road Denim

When I first went shopping for motorcycle denim I was mortified. I had only two colour choices – either bright blue or Bosnian militia camouflage. All of them looked like they were cut for my grandfather, with a saggy arse and stitched-down panels everywhere. Thankfully for motorcyclists, the market has changed in…

Legends of Speed – Jacket Pin Series

I’ve always enjoyed hearing stories about legendary motorcycle riders and racers from the past. They were the men who revolutionised the way motorcycles were made or the way they were ridden. Although some of their lives may be over, their stories live on to inspire new generations of riders and enthusiasts around the…

Gear Review – Nomad Motorcycle Tent

A few weeks ago Mik and I joined the Melbourne Cafe Racers on their annual Brass Monkey Run. The weekend ride and camping trip saw us navigating some of Victoria’s best roads before sinking beers and feasting on BBQ’d meats with a group of 50+ fellow cafe racer enthusiasts. The trip wasn’t…
